The Scottish Society Of Wilmington (SSOW) elected its first officers and board members in 1994. At the time, interest in just such an organization was at its peak and an energetic group of Scottish enthusiasts incorporated the SSOW under the laws of the state of North Carolina. Since then, the SSOW has been a cornerstone of Scottish heritage in the Cape Fear region and encourages anyone with a sincere interest in all things Scottish to join its ranks.
